The case of Felesta Nyamathira Njoroge, a Nairobi Technical Institute student, and the Asset Recovery Agency, which allowed the freezing of Sh102 million from her accounts, takes a new turn.
The government has frozen another sum of money linked to Felesta's lover, Dee Mesel, bringing the total amount of money seized to Sh213 million.
According to a story published by Business Daily on December 15, Sh71.2 million and Sh37 million were discovered in two distinct Equity Bank accounts.
The two accounts were opened under Tebby Wambui Kago's name, but the source was Felesta's lover Marc De Mesel.
Tebby and the crypto millionaire had a kid together. In June of 2020, the kid will be born.
"Got another lovely baby here in Africa; her name is Mxxx, and she is Jxxx's half-sister." Tebby is slowly but steadily improving. Her eyes can't believe what they're seeing. I'm a huge fan of hers. Nothing compares to the beauty of your own kid. "Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers who are reading this," he remarked at the time.
A further Sh5 million was discovered in Stanbic in Ms Njoroge's name, bringing the total to Sh102 million frozen by the ARA.
Judge Justice Esther Maina of the High Court asked that the funds discovered in the new accounts be frozen.
The ARA is looking into where the money sent by the cryptocurrency millionaire came from.
"The pattern of transactions in the accounts in question, as well as the activity of one De Mesel Marc and the Respondents, represent money laundering operations," the agency informed the court.
According to the ARA, "a preliminary review of the bank statement for account number *** maintained at Equity Bank Limited in the name of the 1st Respondent has indicated that the account received a cumulative value of KES 37,000,000 in one single suspicious transaction in November 2021."
The prosecution contended that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the monies in the accounts are proceeds of crime acquired via unlawful and money laundering techniques designed to hide, disguise the type, source location, and movement of the funds.
